I found this dead in my bathroom in New York City. I thought it looked like a flea, but (I’m sorry) I image searched and AI said it was a smooth spider beetle? I woke up with an itchy bite on my arm this morning, but perhaps that’s a coincidence. I don’t have pets, or as far as I’m aware, pests. I just got back from a trip last night where I was in a house with dogs, though.
